Went north (maine ,Sinclair )for snowmobiling fun.But two and half good days.Then rain created ice everywhere and washed most of the snow away.Looking to get back in the groove.Maybe early spring??

Bought this plane just as a airframe.Kept kicking it around the shop.Finally decided to get this converted to electric power.motor is a himax HC5030-390.Battery is a 6s 5000.All up weight is just under 7lbs. 61/2 pounds static thrust with 1225 watts.Plane should go straight up.Will see.Repairing elevator hinging.Looked a little sketchy.

Well was able to get back to the rc field after a 11month hiatus.2 flights and back in the grove.But wet field makes for messy plane to clean.

Well been finishing up my Fw 190a that had a mishap at the 2012NEAT Fest.Took about a year to find another kit for the wing. (Lions model arf).Next will try to put "half built projects in line" to see wich will worked/finished next.But also need to take time to start flying again.Haven't flown in about a year.Weather looking decent and hope my batteries are still flight worthy.Stay tuned.

Been working on this plane for a friend.Actully he is our rc club president.Tom has limited building skills but makes it up in flying and just a great person and friend.I help him when he wants help.Here is a Giant quaker that was converted to e-power.He didn't want the Maxcium motor/esc so I swapped it out and gave him something simpler to understand.Posting pictures on how I set up the battery instale and removel.Should be testing this week.Enjoy,

Well after two years I finally scored a wing for my Lions Focke Wulf Fw190a.I had a little crack up at the neat fair in 2011.The wing and cowl was the major damage.Finally after watching the for sale section a guy had one he was willing to sell.So the Fw will fly again.
